Guess What...

****Blog Candy now closed! Today is the day!!! The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and in a few hours, I will pick the WINNER!!!***

Stay Tuned!!!

...tomorrow is my birthday!!!! Yeah! HooraY!!!!

Those of you that know me, know that I act like a 6 yr old when it comes to birthdays... Yeah, it's bad... I started counting down the days to my birthday on Easter... I get really, really, really excited about birthdays... Maybe a little too excited... This year I am turning 27... My girlfriends have pointed out that this is a milestone birthday... I will no longer be in my mid-twenties... No-siree-bob... I will officially be "almost 30"... They say it with that ominous tone in their voice meant to terrify and warn of the danger of aging that lies upon the path ahead... But I'm not scared!

I LOVE my birthday! And so, in honor of my birthday, I thought it might be fun to offer up some blog candy...

***Note: this post will stay at the top until the drawing, please scroll down for more recent posts... Especially this post, please take the time to read it, and help out if you can!

Thanks!! :)

There is a ton of random stuff... Yeah, it's random... I buy too much... Sometimes I even accidentally buy multiples.. Oops...

But check out some of the highlights: some American Crafts flair, some Basic Grey rub ons, Mickey buttons...

Happy birthday. I have had a link to your BLOG for months. As a former Runnemede-ian I was drawn to your BLOG, and the extra benefit was that I too love crafting, although mine is more in the scrapbooking direction. When my children were small, though, it was craft, craft, craft. You have wonderful ideas, and I've gotten my daughter and niece hooked on your ideas.

Happy birthday Michelle!! Hope it's everything you wish for =) I'm also turning 27 this year. You're a bit more excited about it than I am lol. I just found you blog and am totally loving your stuff (so creative). I would love to be entered into your giveaway =) No blog but I have become a follower! Thanks for doing this and hope you have a great 27th year and many more!

Developed Congratulations! You know, my birthday is seven days before yours, 20. I have just discovered the scrap three weeks ago and I'm new. I do not have a blog but I'm on it. I became a follower and I Atala and my email is mi_atala@hotmail.com. I said it will be lucky, because I do not have much, but because I like your blogs and also I want to meet new people.

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you! *sings* You know, after 25 you will only ever turn 25 again! So happy 25th ;) I'm not much of a birthday person, maybe because I'm born on January 12th and b-days were always overshadowed by x-mas. You know "Mommy's gonna get you a biiiig x-mas present, and it will be your b-day present too, isn't that great!"... Oh boy, was it not great when I was a kid ;P But I always got a big cake at least :)

Your candy looks absolutely de.li.ci.ous! I'd love to be in the draw, so I added a button for you in my sidebar and joined you happy followers :)

Happy Birthday Michelle!!! Congratulations!!! Beautiful, FANTASTIC candy! Thank you for the chance to win. I'm a follower and linked your candy on my sidebar.Thanks again and welcome to my blog!Hugs...

I know what you mean about birthdays- I start celebrating my birthday on the 1st day of the month and the day is not until the 28th- I call it my "birth-month"- anyway you have some GREAT candy to give away, I hope I win!

you go girl never give up on being six about your birthday. I agree about the Holidays I love Halloween and getting my kids to be creative with their costumes. My son has been a few off the wall things, it's the one time he becomes creative so I take it as far as I can (He's 13 so I don't know how long we'll keep it going). My 6 year old daughter is much more traditional in her costumes. I'm 46 and guess this will be my mildstone year for closer to 50, bring it on. Have a great one. I'll follow and keep an eye on your celebration. I just got my first blog so i'm trying to figure it out but I'll try to put your GREAT CANDY on it. As soon as i figure out more I too will have blog candy to share. sandra-creativeideas.blogspot.com

Being you is something you do best and those around you know that you do this with class and style. Loving youth, and laughter makes you fun to be around. So of all days - today, your birthday - just run, jump, laugh, and smile because today is yours to claim and to love being you. Even God tells us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Have a great one sweetie.
